Alternate between two other vehicles as daily driver every third week. At least once every weekend to keep the battery charged.

I'd drive it more, but my round trip commute is 125 miles. Don't want to wear it out too fast. Besides, my wife wants her turn.

Drive it 4 out of 7 days ... 8 k miles a year. No plans to have a 125k garage queen collecting dust while I pay for its upkeep and insurance. If I wanted to do that, I would have bought an Aston.

Pretty much every day DD - although I do travel a bit for work so 6k miles per year.

It's my DD as well, I've put about 12,000 miles on it in the past year (but only about 2,000 on the 356).

It's my DD in Washington DC area, excellent car for commuting, comfortable in stop and go, comfortable cruising at 35mph around town, and comfortable at 135 on the highway, excellent, reliable, enjoyable, sports car. A regular road trip car for me, drove it up to New York last week, worked out great. Easily fits multiple duffle bags including military size duffel bags packed full with gear, so practical.

It's a 2005 Carrera S LE - black/black/PCCB's - gets thumbs up almost daily and requests for "straight up trades" all the time I do also travel a lot for work so it only has 26,000 miles.

The Shelby is the weekend/sunday car - totally outrageous 775 hp car with a Griggs Racing suspension, makes the 911 feel slow in both the turns and the straights surprisingly, but both are equally enjoyable and fun.
